Rethinking Accountability: Session 6 — Next Steps Toward New Accountability
The Next Steps panel at the June 11 Rethinking Accountability conference in Washington, D.C. takes a look at how to initiate a new accountability and the imperatives for doing so.
Linda Darling-Hammond, faculty director at the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education, hosts a panel that includes Richard Carranza, superintendent of the San Francisco Unified School District; Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers; Michael Cohen, president of Achieve; and Phillip Lovell, vice president of federal advocacy of Alliance for Excellent Education.
Policymakers; school and district leaders; business, teacher, parent, and civil rights organizations; education foundations; and members of the media gathered June 11 in Washington D.C. for a conference on Rethinking Accountability: Putting Students and Learning First. The conference discussed how schools, districts, and communities across the nation are charting new paths to student- and learning-focused accountability, and how new approaches are making a difference in improving education.
The conference was hosted by the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education and sponsored by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Sandler Family Foundation.
